Keith, Shouldn't be a problem for you. I used to run phone patches from there back in 67-68 into Oregon mostly. Was KW6GB at the time. Heathkit SB300/400 at 180W to a 3el beam. Try it at 0100Z and later, 10, 15, or 20M depending where they will be on freq. From CA, not a problem. Check out http://wake2013.org/index.html - Good hunting folks. My K3 is ready.

[Elecraft] Fwd: K9W Wake Atoll DXpedition Has Been Approved - Hope To Be QRV This Weekend
The K9W Wake Island Dxpedition is back on track and should be on the air this weekend (Nov 3) if all goes to schedule. (See announcement below and http://wake2013.org/index.html ) They are running K3s and KPA500's, so they should both sound great and have sensitive ears! 73, Eric elecraft.com Original Message On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 11:03 AM, John Millerwrote: I thought you'd like to know that late Monday, 28-October, we received permission from the USAF to visit Wake Atoll. You can read the Press Release on the K9W website. http://wake2013.org/ I leave tomorrow (Wednesday, October 30) for Honolulu to meet up with the team, then we depart for Wake at 0230 on Friday morning, November 1. We hope to be operational by November 3 and continue on the air until November 15. We're excited that this is Commemorative DXpedition is finally coming together because our primary objective is to honor the Forgotten 98 civilian contractors who lost their lives on October 7, 1943 during WWII -- 70 years ago. http://wake2013.org/pages/forgotten98.html And, of course, we're looking forward to putting Wake Atoll QSOs into as many logs as possible over the next two weeks! If you'd like to help the DXpedition with a personal donation, here is the Sponsors page: http://wake2013.org/pages/sponsors.html Assuming we have good internet access, I plan to keep in touch via the K9W website. Wish us luck -- I'll be looking for you in the pileups. : >) 73, John, K6MM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
